I'll never tell another lie
I'll always be beside your side
I'll be a better man this time
I'll be a better man
I'll try so hard I'll never fail
I'll always work, always prevail
I'll be a better man this time
I'll be a better man

I'll get myself back on my feet
And sweep you off of yours

And though they're promises I can't keep
The intention is the same
Come home

I'll say sorry a thousand times
And then say it a thousand more
I'll be waiting at the door for
You
 to
   come
     back
I'll let you do just what you want
Just say the word; I'm at your call
I've never be again the man I
Was before

I'll take a chance
Steal a glance
Take back what I had

And though they're promises I can't keep
The intention is the same
Come home

I'll lift you off of solid ground
And watch you fly into the clouds
And catch you when you fall back down
I'll never let you down

I'll dream ourselves a great escape
Dream you never went away

And though they're promises I can't keep
The intention is the same

Won't you please come home?
Won't you please come home?
Won't you please come home
                       home
                         home

Home?
Feeling cheesy, so I made this. I originally started with the chorus, and the idea of desperately pulling at strings to mend a relationship. And I liked it ^^. Another minor I did while typing up the lyrics was try some formatting to help people get a feel for some of the layering in the vocals in my head. I only did it twice, but both times I'm trying to show 3 or 4 voices singing at the same time before moving on. Hopefully that gets across, and if not, here's this fancy little description telling you straight up that that's what it's doing.

Not feeling up to inspirations, but it definitely has some Mumford & Sons influence in the chorus, since I almost jacked it from one of their songs, and also tinges of The Day That I Die by Good Charlotte and Angels In Everything by Blue October. So go off of those, I guess.

Have a good day! ^^
